"Haa..."
After finishing five times, I lay side by side with Riztina on the bed. She had buried her face in my collarbone, her sky-blue long hair draped down, letting out faint breaths.
—Rub rub.
She was kneading my chest too, and kept stroking my abs and pubic bone. For someone who'd climaxed nonstop from internal ejaculation for two hours straight, she still had some stamina left.
"You... have such a great body. Even the scars look cool... How'd you get these..."
Her voice was hazy. Just like I'd groped her breasts to my heart's content, she was exploring my body.
"My homeland was a harsh place. Got hurt all the time since I was a kid."
"Did it... hurt a lot?"
"Fucking hurt like hell. Thought I was gonna die from the pain."
Truth be told, most of the scars on my body were from before I could afford armor—back in my broke-ass days wandering around like a total bum, getting beaten left and right.
Monster teeth and claws. Back-alley thugs' fists and clubs. Sometimes blades. My immunity was good enough that they just healed, or I'd have died from infection ages ago.
"And what's this? So big and hard... Still standing."
—Stroke stroke.
"Not satisfied...?"
Riztina said as she grabbed and shook my thing under the covers. This big sis really loves playing with dicks.
"Of course I was satisfied."
"Then why's it still hard?"
"Two hours isn't enough. Gotta go home and beg my girls to drain it again. If we go till dawn, it might finally go down?"
"It's still daytime?"
"Exactly."
"Haa. What kind of monster are you?"
We lay there side by side, fiddling with each other while chatting about this and that. But lounging around so leisurely made me recall what Karin had said.
"Oh, Riz sis."
"Yeah?"
"Tell me about that thing."
"What thing?"
Last time, Karin told me that since I was heading to Riztina anyway, I should pick up some useful skills from her.
Learn swordplay from the Swordmaster Guild leader, martial arts from the Fighter Guild leader.
Sounded like a solid plan.
Of course, my own Supreme Dragon Fist and Heavenly Demon Divine Art were already at their peak, but new knowledge always made me stronger.
"Something good. Like a skill. You're the Fighter Guild leader, right? You got something? Basically, teach me your ways."
"...You're asking me to teach you?"
Riztina stopped shaking my dick, her face puzzled.
"Yup."
"You use that Supreme Dragon Fist or Heavenly Demon Divine Art or whatever."
"Still, got nothing good? Good plus good equals even better."
"..."
For a split second, shock flashed across Riztina's face.
"No way...!"
She suddenly bolted upright.
"Katt! You approached me just to steal my techniques?!"
"Huh?"
"You got close with that intent...!"
Riztina pointed at me accusingly, aghast.
What the hell is she on about?
"Come on, sis. Make some sense."
"Even taking my body was all...!"
"You said take responsibility first."
"Oh. Right."
Riztina suddenly nodded, but it pissed me off, so I immediately groped her pussy.
"Ack! W-wait! Stop, it's sensitive right now...!"
"Like it here?"
"H-hngaa...! Hii, th-there...! Hnggh...!"
This sis's clit was super sensitive.
Just gently circling it made her writhe.
I toyed with her pussy for a bit before letting go.
"Haa... So, basically, as your wife, teach me some good techniques?"
"Exactly. Can't?"
"Not that I can't..."
I wasn't gonna force it if it was an issue, but she said it wasn't.
Riztina looked me in the eye and said,
"But you said the same to Karin."
"Karin's already teaching me."
Karin all of a sudden?
"Hng, is that so?"
Something felt fishy.
"But sis."
"Yeah?"
"You talk about Karin way too much, don't you think?"
"What?"
"You don't actually hate her that much, do you?"
"Wh-who said I don't hate that vulgar bitch!!! Don't say weird shit!!!!"
I probed gently, and she overreacted, yelling.
"Hey, if not, just say no. Why yell? Fine. Spread your legs. Going in again."
"Ahh! Don't do whatever you want!"
"Heh heh heh. Anyway, you can teach me?"
I threw off the covers, grabbed her ankles, and spread her legs as I asked. Her pussy was overflowing with my cum right now.
It was so lewd I couldn't stop staring.
"D-don't spread my legs!! Embarrassing!"
"Sis, can you teach me or not."
"I will! I will, so let go of my ankles!"
"Okay."
I released her ankles right away. Riztina glared at me and sighed.
"Haa, seriously... You're so selfish. So, what do you want to learn from me? Tell me what, so I can teach it. I think it'd help if I did."
"No guild secret techniques?"
"Secret techniques... That's tricky. Truth is, what we teach in the guild is more like..."
Something there?
"It's based on mana circulation arts, but assumes direct combat too."
"Huh? What?"
"Surprised? It's exactly that."
What Riztina explained was shocking.
"I'm from a martial family. Of course I have those circulation arts. I modified them myself when I went independent, and that's what we teach in the guild."
She'd taken her family's secret mana circulation art, tweaked it to her liking, and was teaching it in the guild.
"Eh, but it's not that impressive, so don't get too excited. No matter how much I modified it, I couldn't do it overnight. I made it extremely inefficient but easy to practice."
Of course, she'd stripped out all the good parts, degraded it into something mediocre to sell to the public.
Couldn't leak the family secrets, after all.
Turning a circulation art into marketable trash showed her killer business sense.
"With 'very long-term' training at the guild, you might manifest mana. Most don't, of course. It's talent-dependent."
Naturally, being degraded, the efficiency sucked.
Even if you could manifest mana, it took forever and serious talent.
Regular movements, mental discipline, special breathing, meditation, focused training—all meshed to promote mana awakening, per Riztina.
"The instructors actually got mana that way—my disciples."
"Th-that! Mariel too?!"
"That's how I use it. Took about eight years?"
Mariel was a beneficiary too...!
"Get it? Word spreads, trainees flock to register. The hope of mana keeps dropouts low. They pay monthly dues, so that's why I'm loaded."
This sis was a total businesswoman...!
"But I never heard about that."
"You might not have."
"Huh."
Truth was, nobody had told me.
But a question arose.
"What about leaks? Instructors awaken mana, bolt, and steal the art? Even degraded, it's still a huge technique. Risky, no?"
"Run? They die by my hand."
Riztina tilted her head casually.
"Die?"
"If they eat the technique and flee, I hunt them down myself. Happened once. Ungrateful bastard stabbed me in the back and ran. Mess with my rice bowl? Had to kill him."
Betrayers die.
Riztina was a powerhouse here, enforcing that iron rule. Probably forced unfair contracts on instructors as payment for mana awakening.
"And we don't teach the full art anyway. Only promote promising ones to instructors. Skip one step, and the circulation's useless."
"Whoa."
"Plus, it's not great, so mana accumulation's severely limited... But it's no scam. I don't charge insane prices; better than nothing, right?"
I'd uncovered the Fighter Guild's massive secret.
Riztina sold a horribly downgraded circulation art, dangling the slim hope of mana awakening. No wonder fighters crowded the city. Sunk costs meant they'd stay till they felt mana.
Instructors as living proof? Undeniable.
"So once awakened, stuck as guild instructor forever?"
"Nah. What am I, a criminal? If I judge them trustworthy, they can leave."
I didn't ask how many had.
Suddenly felt bad for beating up those instructors last time.
"Those instructors... You raised them the hard way, huh... Sorry for thrashing them, sis."
"Forget it. That was Serka's and my fault. Why apologize?"
"Just 'cause."
Anyway, main topic.
"So, sis. If no guild secrets, what else you got?"
"Hmm... You're around Lizet's level or higher, right?"
"Probably?"
"Then no issue. You're already mastering that weird martial art, and handle mana well. Might even be easier to teach directly. Get up."
Riztina slid off the bed like she was about to show something. Her pale naked body was covered in red marks from my prolonged sucking. Cum dripped between her thighs.
"Oh, demo in that state? Nice service, sis."
"N-no, wait!!! I'd never demo naked!! And it's dripping everywhere...!"
"Let's wash up. Together."
"...Okay."
I took the meek Riztina to the shower and washed us both. Good. From today, time to strengthen my fist and kick arts. With the Fighter Guild leader's help, it'd grow somehow.
After scrubbing her everywhere, we returned to the room.
She changed into comfy clothes, sat me in a chair, and began the real explanation.
"Condensing mana into fists or legs to empower strikes, or bursting it for destructive blows. That's the basics of mana martial arts."
Sounded exactly like me.
Using mana as fuel to enhance the body, burst for jumps or charges, then devastating strikes. What I'd mastered myself.
"That's me. Fight like that."
"So you have the basics. But basics are key. Mana control's everything."
—Crack!
Riztina lightly snapped a chair leg and held it up.
"Watch closely."
Breaking it with a strike?
Her eyes turned serious,
—Boom!!
No motion—the chair leg in her hand shattered into fragments, exploding outward with enough force to send splinters flying.
"Like this: Use manifested mana to burst things from inside. No need for impact. Just touch and activate for a lethal hit."
Wh-what!!!!
"What the hell is that!!!!!"
I was floored.
Such insane techniques exist...!
